Balasore:(Krushna Kumar Mohanty): The 35th anniversary and 21st reunion of the Vani Vihar 1990 batch was held yesterday at Latika Convention, Ravi Talkies Square, Bhubaneswar, bringing together former students from different departments to celebrate lasting bonds and shared memories.
Addressing the gathering, the participants said that friendship remains eternal and continues to reunite people beyond time, distance, and professional differences. Built on trust, understanding, tolerance, and empathy, such relationships, they observed, need constant care and commitment in today’s fast-paced life.

They shared personal and professional journeys, exchanged memories, and reaffirmed their resolve to uphold human values and positive thinking. The annual reunion was described as meaningful and exemplary.
As in previous years, several batchmates took the stage to recall unforgettable moments from their campus days, including experiences of friendship, separation, struggle, and reunion. Cultural activities such as songs, recitation of self-composed poems, light humour, and informal interactions added warmth to the programme. The event continued from 10 am to 4 pm in a lively atmosphere marked by music, conversation, food, and photography.
